ECONOMICS EFFECTS OF IRRIGATION IN PLANT PRODUCTION

Irrigation contributes to increased agricultural yields and production
volume and intensified agricultural production. Field crops double their yields in
irrigation. Production value of irrigated field crops is increased 2.06 times
compared with dry farming. Profit per hectare of irrigated field crops is increased
2.01 times. The economy of field crop production increases from 1.03 in dry
farming to 1.18 in irrigation. Profitability of field crop production increases from
3% in dry farming to 18.4% in irrigation.
Productivity of production of irrigated field crops increases 1.6 times for
wheat, 2.4 times for corn, 1.9 times for sugar beet, 2.4 times for sunflower and 2.7
times for soybean (yield/work hour).
High economy of production is achieved in vegetable production,
amounting to 2. Profitability is increased by 75%. Profit per hectare of irrigated
vegetable crops exceeds that of irrigated field crops.
Investments in irrigation result in higher volume and quality of food
production, more economic and profitable production, and higher incomes and
profits.
Irrigation has a decisive impact on yield performance, production and
economic results and further development of market-oriented, certified organic
production of high quality produce.
